Eg. Memorize the names of the U.S. Presidents in order (there are 44).
To get into the car park, I jumped over a washing line
(George Washington ), where Adam and Eve (John
Adams ) were playing cricket with Geoffrey Boycott
(Thomas Jefferson ). Marilyn Manson (James Madison )
was in the IT block getting off with Marilyn Monroe
(James Monroe ) etc.

KEEP YOUR
REHEARSALS
WITHIN THE
20 20-20
Rule
Memory experts recommend that it is easier
to memorize presentations by reviewing your
material for 20 minutes and then repeating
the information twice for 20 minutes each.
If material is not
repeated within
30 minutes, it is
not encoded into
long-term memory

REHEARSE
BEFORE
Bedtime
A research shows that sleep
enhances the Consolidation of
Recently-Acquired Information in
our memory system
If you rehearse your
presentation just before
bedtime, you are more likely to
Remember the Material more easily
in the morning

Pause and Give
Yourself Time to
Remember.
But always have
a fall-back
exercise
Ask the audience to repeat your last
three points. Put them in pairs and
have them talk to their partner for
one minute about an important point
This gives you
time to Recall
and Recover
